Hi Frank,

Uhaul.com lists two hitches for a late vanagon.

217400  Regular Duty Fixed       $149.95
217401  Regular Duty Fixed       $239.95

http://store.uhaul.com/Trailer_Hitches

Both are rated for 1500 lbs. No pics are available, but if I had to
guess
then basd on price I'd think that it's possible that the 217401 model
would be a frame-mounted design.

Happy Trails,

Greg Potts
